I'll stay cautious of it. I saw the Nasdaq go to 1/2 the value of the Dow back in 99-00 and wondered where all that money came from. Jump to '01 and we see the great dot-com crash (as it's been called). Whoever had all that money in the Nasdaq cashed out after suckering millions of regular people to invest.

I see a similar thing happening again and wonder where all that money is coming from. I am of the opinion that it is the Federal Reserve Bank that did the Nasdaq thing and may be at it again. They are the only entity on earth with that much capital to swing things as fast and as far as they are going (again). There again, it may have all been done by a Saudi prince that just paid about 450 million dollars for a painting the other day.

Let's see. Hughesnet Launches a superior satellite to viasat 1 and exede starts losing customers. Investors start discussing selling off viasat stock and not further investing in viasat because it seems like an unstable market. Viasat increases it's potential speed and it's data caps in order to 1 up hughesnet and attempt to maintain its customer base. Viasat thru exede was commended by the FCC for providing service at or above the 12 mbps speed. Now it has over sold it's capacity on the Average beam and has trouble even getting in range of it's advertised speeds. Why oh why would any customer complain about practices like this? It simply doesn't make any sense.

To the best of my knowledge it was Gen4 that was based on viasats proprietary technology. Hughesnet has doubled it's speeds in it's entire foot print and increased it's data caps significantly as well. Since it's Gen5 dish has come active its been gaining subscribers while at the same time viasat has been losing them.

Gen 5 = Gen 4 in terms of structure and technology. It's more of the same so to speak. If you look at the latest Viasat plans, they are basically as good or better than Gen 5 already. That won't be the case with Viasat-3, once those plans are publicly revealed.

The new Viasat plans on paper are better than hughesnets how ever in practice they aren't. The new viasat plans where in response to subscriber losses. Losses of customers specifically to hughesnet. Although With ATT expanding fixed wireless they took a few as well. Maybe when Viasat 2 comes out they will have a better QoS. But right now it sucks.

I have a mining rig that runs 24/7 i built about 3 weeks ago. It currently does 45MH/s I plan on making more mining rigs just as a hobby. Was able to buy 8 RX 580's on newegg for 200 dollars each during black friday.
